Registration Questions

Can I get a list of classes offered in the evening only?

Yes, there are a few different ways to do this. Remember the more information you input in your search for sections the more effective your search will be. WebAdvisor asks that you fill in at least two fields.

Example: Enter the term (e.g. 2011FA) and fill in time (e.g. 6 pm) in the Sections Meeting After' drop down box. You can refine your search if you also fill in the days of the week you want.

Can I get a list of classes offered in the morning only?

Yes, WebAdvisor allows you to set your time parameters by filling in the Sections Meeting After' drop down box and/or filling in the Sections Meeting Before' drop down box. Remember, the more information you input into your search the better the results are. For best results, fill in the before and after boxes as well as the term, and course number if possible.

How can I register (add) for classes?

To register (add) for a class, follow the instructions below:

Under The Registration section

Click on Register for Section

Click on "Search and Register for Sections"

Select your term from the drop down box

Search for the course (class) that you wish to register (add)

Skip the Course Level section

In the Action box, click Register,

Click "Submit" to register for that class

Click "Submit" again to confirm registration

NOTE: If you get a message that does not allow you to register for a class, please read the message carefully and try to overcome the problem

Where can I go to view or print out my schedule?

Under Academic Profile

Click on My class Schedule

Select the term in the drop box.

View or Print

What should I do if the class I want is full?

If a class is full (check availability/capacity in section selection results) you can 1) find another class that has available space, 2) add yourself to the waitlist and if space becomes available you will be notified by email, and 3) contact the professor and ask permission to be added to the course.

How can I drop a class?

To drop a class, follow the steps below:

Under the Registration section click on "Register and Drop Sections"

Under Action box, open the drop down box and click on Remove from List

Click "Submit"

Click on "Ok" to confirm dropped class

NOTE: Students wishing to drop or switch courses must do so by the conclusion of the published add/drop period of the fall and spring semesters. Summer session students wishing to make registration changes must do so before the second class meeting. After these published dates, registration via WebAdvisor will be turned disabled, and students will need to complete an add/drop form. Any courses that are dropped after these periods are considered withdrawals. Students will receive a grade of "W" on their official IWP record and are subject to the refund policy as outlined in the Withdrawal and Refund policy section of the Catalog. Students who stop attending classes without officially withdrawing (completing an Add/Drop form, getting the required signatures, and submitting the form to the Registrar's Office) will be assigned the grade of "F" at the end of the semester. To avoid unnecessary costs and penalties, students are advised to discuss all dropping and adding procedures with an advisor. To receive a full refund (less the required deposit), students must drop classes prior to the second class.

Why do I get a message saying I can't register for a course?

There are a number of reasons you receive the "cannot register" message. WebAdvisor will notify you in red (at the top of the screen) with the reason why you cannot register. Follow-up and resolve your issue as quickly as possible in order to register. Examples of reasons for registration restriction: prerequisites not met, business office hold, multiple incompletes, immunization record hold.

When you search or register for a class look for the AVAILABLE/CAPACITY heading on the section results page. This tells you how many seats are available and how many total seats that class has. If the availability says "0" then the class is full.

Can I do a complete withdrawal on WebAdvisor?

No. You cannot do a complete withdrawal on Webadvisor.

In order to do a complete withdrawal (dropping ALL your classes and leaving the Institute), you will need to Contact the Registrar's Office.

Students wishing to officially withdraw from IWP during the semester must complete a Complete Withdrawal Form which must be obtained from the Registrar's Office. The student must complete this form and turn it in to the Registrar. The Registrar is available to speak with any student who wishes to discuss the reasons for the withdrawal. A copy of the form will be kept in the permanent file of the student.

Do I need to meet with an advisor before I register?

Although an advisor's signature may not be required for you to register, IWP believes that effective academic planning and course selection are critical factors leading to student success. Therefore, students are encouraged to meet with advisors and discuss their academic future.
